Checklist Glastonbury '08

Here's your Glastonbury checklist to help make
your festival a happy one

essentials

* Ticket
* Wallet
* Rucksack
* Tent
* Hiking boots or other tough waterproof boots
* Clothes

you always seem to take more than you need so we suggest:
1 t-shirt per day
1 jumper/sweatshirt,
1 longsleeve top or thicker shirt,
Tracksuit bottoms for cold night, if you don't have good sleeping bag - Helly Hanson thermal longsleeve tops are excellent for cold nights,
2 pairs of trousers e.g. combats or lightweights,
2 pairs thick hiking socks
underwear 1 pair per day
Waterproof jacket (very essential)
Pair of wellies (if you travel by car keep them in the boot
until you need them) if not drill/cut small holes in the top tie them onto your rucksack


• Sunglasses
• Torch
• Towel (can double as blanket/rolled up pillow)
• Loo roll (available at Lockups)
• Money for food etc.
• Bin bags (available at Info Points)
• Medicines you take regularly (including the Pill)
• Suncream (available at Info Points)
• Feminine hygiene products if appropriate
• Glasses / contacts if appropriate
• Toothbrush
• Condoms

* Sleeping bag
If you have a good high tog sleeping bag fine, if not
take a blanket (available at stores £3-£5)
most importantly get a roll-up or use a newspaper
to put under your sleeping bags for insulation
this is where you loose most of the heat in the night
and you'll really feel it with a poor quality sleeping bag.
Of course if your not planning on sleeping much
ignore all of the above!
